CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: FURNACE GIRL? A HEINOUS DRUG!

After confirming his thoughts, Zhang Feng couldn’t help but become a bit excited.

He originally thought that the world was low in spiritual energy and there was no way to practice cultivation.

But now, if he connects it with the disappearance of the three young girls, the existence of an Evil Cultivator suddenly makes sense.

According to Zhang Feng’s calculations, all three missing young girls possessed a Pure Yin Body.

An Evil Cultivator could use such an ideal Furnace Girl for cultivation without spiritual energy.

However, the cultivation would be slow, and the Pure Yin Body would eventually be exhausted to death, requiring a new furnace!

This is why, every five years, a young girl goes missing!

Of course, the Pure Yin Body Zhang Feng mentioned here wasn’t the extremely rare physique found once every thousand years in his original world.

It only pertains to girls born in Yin years, Yin months, and Yin days.

Still considered to have an innate Yin life.

In his original world, these girls could be used as furnaces, but the effect was average.

Yet for this world where spiritual energy is scarce, they are indeed ideal cultivation furnaces.

Zhang Feng was just stating the facts.

Just as Zhang Feng confirmed the existence of an Evil Cultivator in this world,

"Thud," Cheng Bing suddenly knelt down.

Murmuring mysteriously, he bowed three times to the Seven Stars Gathering Wealth, then rose, turned around, and entered the elevator again.

Zhang Feng’s mind twitched slightly, and he quickly followed.

The elevator began to ascend.

It slowed to a stop once more.

But Zhang Feng hesitated slightly.

Through timing the ascent, Zhang Feng discovered that the elevator did not return directly to Cheng Bing’s office.

Instead, it stopped about halfway up.

Which made Zhang Feng slightly excited:

"Could it be... the Evil Cultivator is here?!"

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Before his eyes was a long corridor with nothing on either side.

The lights on the ceiling of the corridor lit up one by one as Cheng Bing walked along.

Soon they reached the end of the corridor.

At the end was a large iron door.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation inside, which made Zhang Feng a bit suspicious:

"Would an Evil Cultivator really live in such a place?"

"Clang, clang, clang!" Cheng Bing knocked on the iron door in front of him.

With a "swish!" the iron door opened directly.

But... since only Cheng Bing could come in here, the person inside knew well who was knocking, so there was no need for caution.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, skinny, looking around Cheng Bing’s age.

The first thing the man said upon seeing Cheng Bing was:

"Brother, the time isn’t up yet, why did you come down early?"

But Cheng Bing didn’t answer the man’s question. Instead, he pointed ahead and said:

"How is that woman?"

Woman?

Following Cheng Bing’s finger, he looked forward.

Indeed, a girl who looked just over twenty, with fair skin and beautiful features, undeniably stunning.

But she was shackled by four thick iron chains, suspended in mid-air inside the room.

She bore no visible injuries, and Zhang Feng sensed that her vital signs were normal.

Her head drooped, unconscious.

And the girl, Zhang Feng recognized at a glance, was the young girl who had gone missing just a few days ago!

The skinny man said:

"She’s been drugged; we’re just waiting for the effects to kick in!"

As he spoke, the skinny man seemed to complain:

"I really don’t understand why the master insists we give her his prepared drugs."

"It’s the same aphrodisiac, but our own drugs work faster!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Feng hidden in the shadows instantly clenched his fists!

The Evil Cultivator’s drug?!

This aphrodisiac is indeed slower to take effect, but once the drug takes hold, the affected person becomes extremely frenzied, more potent than the effects of the ordinary drugs Cheng Bing and the others mentioned!

Moreover, during the drug’s effect, whoever interacts with the drugged person becomes the sole master in the victim’s mind!

Even after the effects fade, they remain the person’s plaything forever!

Even in Zhang Feng’s previous life, such a drug was considered utterly inhumane!

Zhang Feng now clenched his fists, trembling slightly!

He began to mobilize the Inner Qi in his Dantian, preparing to take down Cheng Bing and the skinny monkey on the spot!

Then, before the girl succumbed to the drug’s effects, he intended to find a way to expel it from her system!

But just as Zhang Feng raised his fist to act, Cheng Bing’s words suddenly stopped him in his tracks.

Cheng Bing was heard saying:

"Never mind that for now, take this woman to the master soon, use the delivery van, leave through the back door!"

To the master?!

The master is clearly the Evil Cultivator secretly aiding Cheng Bing and his group!

So if that’s the case, all I need to do is follow the skinny monkey and I can find the Evil Cultivator?

Thinking this, Zhang Feng slowly unclenched his fist.

It’s not about not rescuing the girl; she must be saved, but eliminating the Evil Cultivator would be even better.

Because if I act now, dealing with Cheng Bing and the skinny monkey,

the Evil Cultivator will surely be alerted, making future pursuit more difficult.

Who knows if the Evil Cultivator will find another pawn and harm new innocent girls again.

So, cutting the problem at its root is crucial!

But the skinny monkey heard Cheng Bing’s words and, surprisingly, said in shock:

"Brother, what’s going on today? So urgent? Didn’t we always wait for the drug effects before sending them to the master?"

Cheng Bing looked at the skinny monkey with a serious expression, saying:

"Because today, Flourish on Earth, is facing a power outage."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, the skinny monkey let out a sharp scream!

Even Zhang Feng’s expression turned unusual.

Why, it’s just a power outage, is there any need to be so alarmed?

But the skinny monkey wore a look of near terror, anxiously saying:

"Brother, there’s a power outage, should we... run?"

Run?

Zhang Feng’s expression grew even odder; is a power outage worth running away for?

Surely, there must have been power outages in the past fifteen years?

Cheng Bing’s eyes flickered with indecision, but he resolutely shook his head, telling the skinny monkey:

"The master did say, the day Flourish on Earth experiences a power outage is the day I, Cheng Bing, face my greatest tribulation in life..."

So that’s how it is!

Zhang Feng understood.

Evidently, the Evil Cultivator is proficient in divination!

"But..." Cheng Bing’s voice continued:

"I climbed from a stinking fishmonger to where I am today, can I just give it all up?"

"Besides, over these twenty years, I not only arranged the Seven Stars Gathering Wealth as instructed by the master, but also developed my own network."

"Even if something happens, those big fish I’ve fattened up can’t ignore it, right?"

"I, Cheng Bing, want to see what kind of tribulation can defeat me!!"

The skinny monkey, moved by Cheng Bing’s words, still nervously said:

"But... brother, the master said it’s the will of Heaven!"

For some reason, upon hearing this, rage flashed across Cheng Bing’s face as he roared:

"To hell with Heaven!"
